From the Publisher

04/15/2016
As founder of Many Kitchens (manykitchens.com), an online marketplace for artisanal foods, Rice has access to a distinct community of food entrepreneurs. When asked to contribute recipes to this cookbook, she came back with an eclectic mix of tastes and techniques. In unconventional chapters named for occasions (e.g., "A French Breakfast," "A Mexican Fiesta"), readers will find dishes such as honey maple chicken meatballs, kaese spaetzle with bacon, Brussels sprout kimchi over soba noodles, and churros with vanilla caramel sauce. New Yorkers will be especially pleased to see contributions from the restaurant Buvette, butcher shop Schaller & Weber, and other nearby businesses. VERDICT Home cooks who dabble in international cuisine will be satisfied with this book's variety.
